At this time, the brethren were filled with excessive anger and rushed with a bang. There was a great battle on both sides. First with his fists, and then one let him drag the other by the hair. It was a wonderful sight. At the bottom of the arms, legs, body, and at the top there was only wool (that is, hair). And they began to drag (the Jeromees) out of this heap one man at a time into the corridor, where the brethren stood in two ranks, receiving the booty and escorting (the Jeromees) some by the hair, some by the sides and with a sentence, some were beaten for what, so that he would know. In this way they were escorted to the stairs, and down the stairs they went as they pleased: some walked upside down, others went down with their feet down, and counted the steps with the back of their heads... They were escorted to the very cathedral platform, and there they were honorably taken by the arms and led out of the Porto (gates)<... >

Monk Nicholas (a singer) threw himself out of the window, on the marble platform, but he was caught up in flight by the brethren standing below and did not allow him to fall to his death. Hieromonk Merkury also wanted to jump out of the window, but Fr. Sosipater Sr. restrained him, saying:

"You have to go through the doors. Wait in line...

At this time, Fr. Sosipater Jr. ran up and said to Mercury:

"Don't grieve, come here."

And he grabbed him by the hair, but could not drag him out into the corridor, since the hair was loosely attached and remained in the hands of Fr. Sosipater. Then Mercury was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and dropped out the door<... >

Fr. Pavlin, the cathedral elder, was wonderfully escorted, and two weeks before he had composed a dachshund, as much as each (leaving) monk was entitled to: one duckweed, one cassock, two pairs of underwear, a pair of boots, fifty rubles of money for the journey, and one hundred rubles for those who had lived in the skete for thirty or forty years.

When it was Fr. Pavlin's turn, Fr. Sosipater shouted:

"Come here, we'll give you fifty rubles and two pairs of linen for the journey!"

With these words, Sosipater rushed to Peacock with a bang, grabbed him by the beard, but the beard was weakly grown<... >Then they dragged him out the door, and there was a reward in the corridor... They beat him with a sentence, some for boots, some for underwear, some for cassocks. They dragged him back and forth with a stop. Each brother wanted to be branded for his "blessings" that he was preparing for the brethren<... >

And Fr. Pavlin received blue hair, small and sparse hair, lame legs.

<… >It was the turn of the former hegumen Jerome and his cell-attendant Clement. They took away the keys from the first, took him by the arms and began to lead him out of the chambers with honor. Clement wanted to take refuge under the abbot's duckweed, but when they came out into the corridor, Clement was pulled out from under his cassock and everyone who wanted to console themselves over him, as the main culprit of the whole affair. At parting, he received blue hairs and side awards.

<… >When Hegumen Fr. Jerome came down the stairs, Fr. Sosipater ran up to him, cried out: "Stop, m...", and began to search. He had nothing with him<... >When Fr. Jerome went beyond the Porte, he made three bows to the Mother of God and bowed to the ground of the brethren, who gave the same greetings in return. Jerome was offered cell after skete, a cell-attendant and all the contentment, but he said: "It is better to go to all four corners of God's world..."

After Fr. Jerome's farewell, a flying detachment was formed, which, without any guidance, went to hunt himself, starting from the Petrovskaya Church. First, they touched the doors of Fr. Amon. The doors were locked and had three latches. But they opened by themselves. Amun, seeing this, rushed to the window from the second floor, where the whole of Karyes (the population of the Greek town) was standing and looking outside. We went further and touched Fr. Michael's door. The cell turned out to be empty: the bird flew out... There is also emptiness in Fr. Martyrius' cell. To know, they foresaw the pogrom. It turned out that they had gone to the hospital and were locked up there. Escaped.
